Question about shrimp with axolotls

[Egghead]

Bit of a strange question here but does anyone know if I would be able to keep "Paratya curvirostris" or "NZ glass/ghost shrimp" with axolotls ?

i'm not sure... i'd think the only downside would be the shrimp (a) pinching the axie (b) their waste building up, (c) causing obstructions (if) the axies try to eat them.

I have no doubt the shrimp would be eaten although there is no reason to believe they would cause an obstruction.

i'm assuming they might be a bit large, i orderd some once and they were much bigger than i bargained for :Sad face:

Yehhh. I'm pretty sure I saw a post about some guy who had the austalian version of this shrimp with there lotls and i think they said that it went well. As for c, i think that axies can pass through normal ghost shrimp which i think are pretty similar to the nz variety.

shrimp are good as part of the tanks clean up crew but don't tend to last long as they make a snack for axolotls, they can also be used as part of a live food diet.
